RALEIGH, NC<\/strong>\u2014The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) has been awarded a nearly $4 million grant<\/a> from the U.S. Department of Education to pilot the Skills for the Future (SFF)<\/a> project in North Carolina. This initiative is part of a national effort to measure and incorporate durable skills into education systems, equipping students with the competencies needed for success in college, careers and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Skills for the Future pilot will utilize the North Carolina Portrait of a Graduate<\/a> (Portrait) durable skills to anchor the assessment tools. The Portrait identifies the skills and mindsets North Carolina\u2019s students need for success after high school, including:   adaptability, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, empathy, learner\u2019s mindset and personal responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cData shows that durable skills, like those outlined in the North Carolina Portrait of a Graduate, are highly valued by employers and benefit students across all paths \u2014 whether they choose college, a career or the military,\u201d said North Carolina State Superintendent Catherine Truitt. \u201cThis grant is such an important step forward in ensuring our students are prepared for success in the workforce and prepared for the jobs of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer, NCDPI and the North Carolina Department of Commerce\u2019s Labor Economic Analysis Division (LEAD) presented data demonstrating<\/a> that NC\u2019s Portrait of a Graduate skills are essential to every occupation in the state. The data highlighted the need to continue integrating durable skills into everyday learning across North Carolina classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Carolina joins four other states \u2014 Indiana, Wisconsin, Nevada and Rhode Island \u2014partnering with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and ETS  in transforming traditional education models. These states are collectively pioneering the integration of durable skills assessments, creating a comprehensive, portable skills transcript that will provide students, educators and employers with real-time insights into students\u2019 skill development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored that NCDPI has entrusted us with this opportunity to support learners across the state,\u201d said Laura Slover, managing director of Skills for the Future at ETS. \u201cBy effectively measuring these critical durable skills, we aim to instill a mindset of continuous learning and development and believe we will set students on the path to being better prepared for the future of work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Over the next three years, NCDPI will partner with ETS, Carnegie Foundation and Battelle for Kids (BFK) to create a tool that utilizes performance skills that are demonstrated through problem-based learning in the classroom, scoring and personalized skills transcripts to provide a more holistic view of students, their abilities, and the skills they can contribute to the workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn order to truly quantify the value of the Portrait of a Graduate\u2019s durable skills, we must have a tool that can measure students\u2019 mastery. The Skills for the Future project does precisely that,\u201d Truitt said. \u201cWith this tool in hand, we will be able to better evaluate our students and prepare them for whatever their future holds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the SFF project is to improve career and college readiness by producing and implementing a suite of customizable assessment tools for durable skills. By the end of the grant period, the project aims to produce skills transcripts for 6,000 students and engage 400 educators in professional learning across the state. North Carolina will join a multi-state professional learning community, where they can collaborate, troubleshoot and share experiences with other states engaged in similar work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNorth Carolina is a leader in the work to transform the American high school. They are building systems to create much more powerful pathways to postsecondary school and career and improve economic opportunity for students statewide. This is precisely the kind of innovation that will have an enduring impact on the lives of young people across North Carolina and signals to the nation what the future of high school can be,\u201d said Timothy F.C. Knowles<\/a>, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to enhancing the way students are prepared for their futures, this pilot will establish a valid and reliable way to measure durable skills, paving the way for these skills to be incorporated into school accountability models, such as North Carolina\u2019s School Performance Grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSchool performance grades are supposed to tell us about the quality of a school, but they don\u2019t provide a complete picture of that right now. By incorporating additional metrics, factors and indicators that make North Carolina schools excellent \u2013 such as the North Carolina Portrait of a Graduate \u2013 we will be able to tell a more holistic picture of the health of our schools,\u201d Truitt said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot will kick off in the spring of 2025 with high-intensity educator professional development in six North Carolina high schools in three school districts (Winston-Salem\/Forsyth County Schools, Iredell-Statesville Schools and the Mooresville Graded School District). The skills suite pilot will begin directly after the professional development phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
